In “Alvin and the Chipmunks 4: The Road Chip,”
the boys hit the road for a coming-of-age journey across the U.S. During their storied misadventures, Alvin
(voiced by Justin Long), Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) and Theodore (Jesse
McCartney) have always had to solve problems … they’ve created themselves! But during their road chip, and for the first
time, they’re on a mission to keep their family together.

The
idea of Dave tying the knot doesn’t thrill the boys; in fact, they fear it’ll
uproot their lives – and maybe uproot them from Dave’s home! Further complicating matters is Sam’s teenage
son, Miles (Josh Green), who has an instant dislike of the Chipmunks, who feel
the same way about Miles. Along their
journey, Alvin, Theodore and Simon need to make things right with the help of
the Chipettes, Eleanor (Cuoco), Jeanette (Faris) and Brittany (Applegate) who
are now music icons seated to discover rising talents in their own television
show. Alvin, along with the help of the
Chipettes tries to gain Dave’s trust once again after Alvin, Theodore and Simon
accidentally ruined a romantic night during Dave’s business trip in Miami.

“The opportunity to experience new
locations through the Chipmunks’ eyes is very compelling,” notes director Walt
Becker. Additionally, “Everybody
remembers family trips, which can be equal parts adventures and tortuous
experiences, so that’s very relatable.”

“Alvin
and the Chipmunks 4: The Road Chip” shakes things up, musically. Each stop on the ‘Munks’ and Miles’ quest has
its own special character and different musical influence – from modern,
hip-hop/country vibe of an Austin, Texas bar to the great jazz, blues and funk
of New Orleans, and finally to the Latin flair of Miami.

Continuing a soundtrack tradition
for the series, Alvin and the Chipmunks put their own delightful new spin on
smashes including “Uptown Funk,” “Turn Down For What,” and more. In addition,
Redfoo and the boys trade verses on “Juicy Wiggle (Munk Remix).” The soundtrack
also features Sheppard’s platinum-certified international hit “Geronimo” and
The Score’s “Oh My Love.”

“Alvin
and the Chipmunks 4: The Road Chip” opens January 20 in cinemas from 20th
Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
